Not a bad schedule at all, but ends tough. We MUST get off to a good start. Would love to be in contention for a playoff spot later in the year. Not expecting it quite yet in Rivera's 1st but would not be totally surprised.

I can't complain about this schedule at all honestly. Bye in the middle of the season. No short weeks except for Thanksgiving, but Dallas will also have a short week that week.

I hate prime time games just because staying up late and trying to get up for work the next day sucks, so selfishly I'm happy on that one.

But last year we had that brutal 5 game stretch to open the season which just buried all hope and I think resulted in the team giving up on Jay entirely (though he and Manusky did enough on their own to earn that). This time no such problem.

There aren't any brutal stretches of consecutive road games.

I'm not sure what I could complain about. Other than that we still figure to suck.

After living the first 50 years of my life on the west coast, almost 10 years on the east coast still has not got me used to games finishing at mid night. I feel sorry for people that have to commute to an early a.m. job the next day that watch the games to the end. Fortunately for me I walk about 15 yards to work and can set my own hours.

I guess weeks 12-14 are kind of brutal with consecutive road games, at Dallas on Thanksgiving, then 10 day rest to go away to Pittsburgh, then 7 day rest to go away to San Fran. That's a pretty brutal road stretch I guess. But we're losing to SF no matter how much rest or where the game is played, so in my mind it's all the same.

But then we finish home vs Seattle, home vs Carolina, and away vs Philly which is close to home.

I am glad we play Pittsburgh in Pittsburgh. I don't want to see Fedex Field covered in black and gold ...

I do too. Maybe this is what we need to begin the true rebuilding. Dan needs constant reminders every day of his life that "his way" hasn't and will never work. Let Ron do it his way and see what happens. No interference.

Try watching in the UK. If Skins are on a Sunday, Monday or Thursday night game I have to record it and watch the next day if I can't get the next day off. And no incentive to stay up and watch live last few seasons
